Nature's Masterpiece, the peony Fatty Cui gave Li Xi'er as a present, was originally given to him by a jade merchant who does business with him. Fatty Cui is not a big fan of plants while Lucy is very naughty. He gave Nature's Masterpiece to Li Xi'er only because it would be a waste to keep it himself.
"My friend told me he bought it at a newly opened flower shop opposite the Temple of the Marquis Wu. Is it fake?"
His question makes Lin Luoran amused and speechless. Fatty Cui has been in the jade trade for so long that it has become an instinct for him to ask the "fake or real" question once he sees everything.
"Of course, the peony is real. We want to visit the shop and buy flowers from them exactly because the peony is of good quality. Do you know their address?
Fatty Cui smiles in a low voice and says, "Go ahead. The shop's easy to find, right in the alley diagonally opposite the Temple of the Marquis Wu. The owner is a young la
Lin Luoran pays all her attention to Yang Lisha's facial expressions and doesn’t want to let go of any emotion. It seems that Yang Lisha's facial expressions become weird after listening to Lin Luoran's words. She wants to laugh, but she makes great efforts to hold it back.Her dimples show up again, "I don't know what you're talking about."What a perfect yet ignorant face! Li Xi'er hides in the dark and doesn't understand what Lin Luoran says. Lin's villa is very quiet tonight. There is no sound except for Lin Luoran and Yang Lisha's voices. Why do Mr. Lin and Yuan Ye sleep like logs tonight?Lin Luoran doesn't want to force her and pours her another cup of tea, "Should I call you Miss Yang or Master Yang?" It's strange that Lin Luoran can't see Yang Lisha’s personal abilities even with the identifying eyes. Lin Luoran thinks she is reckless to irritate a woman whose personal abilities are so powerful that even her cleared eyes can’t see.
Lin Luoran is anxious. Everyone at the Lin’s knows the new owner of the flower shop opposite the Temple of the Marquis of Wu is a monster vine now. The two teenagers are obsessed with mysterious stories in which a Peony Fairy turns into a beautiful girl and keeps a young man's company while he reads at night. The story is so attractive. Lin Luodong doesn't care about how dangerous she may be. He just hopes that Miss Yang is a girl like the Peony Fairy. Huang Weijian is more rational. He learned that monsters are not kind creatures since he was a child. Although he won't kill monsters once he sees one, he knows he should be careful because monsters make the bald pen shake. Li Xi'er murmurs something while staring at her peony that just survived a disease. She thinks what Lin Luoran said before was far-sighted. No one believed there were Peony Fairies in this world then. Well, a monster vine shows up now. Li Xi'er regards the female monster who calls hers
Calm down, calm down. No one knows that Lin Luoran has two pieces of soul wood. She bets all on it so she can't use it to exchange for information about the interstellar transmission circle. "Soul wood is sacred. You don't think you can exchange it with only a piece of information, do you?" It's reckless to bargain with a monster, but Yang Lisha might think Lin Luoran is weak if she didn't do it. The monster vine could rob the soul wood and leave nothing but regret to her. Yang Lisha is somewhat surprised, "I heard you are going to use the soul wood to save your best friend, and you want to use it in exchange of just a piece of information? Human's friendship is so cheap. You really are a heartless creature." Yang Lisha doesn't even want to pretend a smile. Her contempt is pretty clear in her tone.Lin Luoran doesn't refute. She doesn't want to tell this monster vine that the soul wood with accelerated growth rate was already used on Qin Ba
Lin Luoran no longer regards the trip to the interstellar transmission circle as an adventure. Finding Mount Penglai and the ancient book of monsters of wood, as well as building a Taoist root for Mrs. Lin are only her extravagant hopes. Because Yang Lisha says it's extremely dangerous in the interstellar transmission circle. Lin Luoran doesn't want to let others take risks, so she decides to go alone with Yang Lisha. The monster vine laughs at her decision, "Are you thinking that the interstellar transmission circle is as small as your backyard? Trust me, you need a team that can work together." Yang Lisha's charisma makes her sarcasm sound like sincere advice. Lin Luoran thinks about it and announces to the public. The interstellar transmission circle is probably the last hope for all of the cultivators who still do cultivation. She has no need to hide. Lin Luoran, Master Mu and a few other people discuss t
Tribe for Cultivators gets excited again. Lin Luoran wants to recruit someone to go to a secret land. It is said that if you can find an ancient book of the monsters of wood there, you'll be rewarded with a Foundation-laying Bolus. That's the precious Foundation-laying Bolus! Everyone practices hard because they want to complete the course of Training Qi, successfully lay the foundation and get into a higher rank one day. The world of cultivation with abundant spells and hundreds of branches is as vast as the ocean. Refining weapons, making elixirs and planting magic circles, every main branch has an intriguing charm. Cultivators desperately want to learn every kind of it, but they need to live long enough to do so. If you successfully laid a foundation, you could live for two hundred years. Only through Laying Foundation, can Reiki in one's body transform to Wakan which is necessary for making elixirs, refining weapons and
Two months later, Lin Luoran comes out of the basement, holding a porcelain bottle and feels satisfied. She thinks it won't hurt to make more preparations since they are going to explore the interstellar transmission circle and find the ancient book of the monsters of wood. Yang Lisha has been waiting for her for too long. She doesn't yell at her only because she finally finds Lin Luoran ready to go. Lin Luoran has only planned to take Yuan Ye and Goldie with her, but Mr. Lin volunteers to go together. The cyan little fox grabs Lin Luoran's trouser legs tightly before they leave. Li Xi'er has to stay at home and look after Yang Lisha's precious Acacia tree. As for Zeng Tian, he still needs to practice Spells of the Five Elements. He stays because his abilities are too limited to join the adventure. Huang Weijian wants to go, but he gives up after Lin Luoran tells him he is going to take the entrance examination for senior
"The Babel Tower was first built by the Neo-Babylonian Empire. The city of Babylon was the most prosperous and magnificent one in the region of the Two Rivers. The most spectacular buildings in the city were the Nebuchadnezzar Palace, the famous Hanging Gardens, and the Babel Tower that was said to enrage God. The Babel Tower was built in 600 BC when Huaxia was in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. If the Babel Tower really exists and is the interstellar transmission circle that can only be used by cultivators, what are the Hanging Gardens?" The Tower of Heaven in the legends appears in front of Lin Luoran. Historical records show that it was never completed. The reign of the Neo-Babylonian Empire only lasted for hundreds of years. It was too short to complete the Tower. At the same time, Huaxia entered the Spring and Autumn Period, and the wars of the Warring States Period were just around the corner. Why did wars break out in tw
Thousands of years ago, there was no industrial pollution. When night fell, stars in the sky were like gems set on black cloth. Lin Luoran is in a relatively clean and tidy room in a group of low houses made of mud. She looks outside the window and sees an oasis in the earth-yellow city with so many mud houses under the stars. A higher wall encircles a higher land in the city. That is the palace of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. "Do you mean that the test behind the gate we entered is a restoration of real scenes in the Neo-Babylonian Empire, 600 BC?" Lin Luoran caresses the asleep cyan little fox. Stars are shining. Goldie stands at the window and looks into the distance with a lot of confusion in his eyes. Yang Lisha paces in the room, "We are brought back to the Neo-Babylonian Empire around 600 BC by the Tower of Heaven. In a more popular term of human beings, we passed through time to the past." Lin Luoran re
Many years later, Mu Tiannan will still remember how gloomy and desperate he is in these three days.Liao once said that he did not know the background of the man in robe. The man in robe is always smiling and he has an ordinary face. His face is like to be covered with mist so that people can never remember how he looks and what his name is. However, he is definitely very powerful—he was even the reason why earth cultivators began their cultivation in the first place.He was a master in the primitive era. No one has the nerve to even think of being his enemy.Before she is "Lin Luoran", she has spent time with the man in robe for much longer years than the hundreds of years when he knew her as “Lin Luoran”.Moreover, he and Lin Luoran get along with only about one hundred years.With all kinds of feelings, Lin Luoran comes back three days later. The man in robe also follows her back.Mu Tiannan notices th
Lin Luoran and her father are reunited finally. Their emotions are still out of control after a long time. Mu Tiannan knows that Lin Luoran has been missing her family silently. When she stops crying and completely calms down, he asks about the whereabouts of other members of the Lins and Grandpa Mu. The Mu family suffered heavy losses in the Earth Defense War back then. However, when he separated from his family in the Tower of Babel, his grandfather and several cousins were still alive. Grandpa Mu had protected his offspring for family's future. Called "Qin Xiaojiu" at that old age, Gebu realizes “the suspicious criminal” is actually the daughter of Mr. Lin. Therefore, he serves tea for them continuously, trying to change his image in the mind of Lin and Mu. Hearing Mu Tiannan's question, Mr. Lin wipes his tears embarrassingly. He says to Qin Xiaojiu, "Hurry up! Go to inform the Mu family that their third child is back!"
Zhu Qi accidentally gets the Jade Map which sends a message from Sword School. The message is not widely spread in Lanhu Star. Everyone has his or her own unique skills. Zhu Qi with street smarts also has his own tricks, even though he is just an individual cultivator. He duplicates the message in Jade Map in his own special way. Wen Guanjing took Sword School to Tiankui Star but he didn’t find Lin Luoran. Prophet god school released the news earlier so many people were keeping an eye on Lin Luoran. No matter how powerful Sword School was, they still couldn’t defeat the enemy that overnumbered them. They couldn’t let others know they were looking for Lin Luoran, so they did everything secretly. Lin Luoran always regards Wen Guanjing as her friend. Mu Tiannan feels so jealous when he sees Linny’s lifelike portrait on Jade Map. Later on, he is acting like a child. Lin Luoran is not a very considerate person but she still notices it.
Wearing a white lotus Taoist robe and a pair of pink satin shoes, Xin Yuanping is surrounded by several beautiful nuns with a black lotus in her hand. Wind is blowing the white silk hairband she wears. At the first glance, she looks like a master Taoist. When she sees Lin Luoran clearly, she has a bigger smile. Her dignified and holy face becomes vivid and charming, eclipsing several beautiful nuns. “School Brother An!” Xin Yuanping smiles and An also smiles, which makes Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan laugh. Xin Yuanping smiles because she thinks her School brother An is really clever. He invites Lin Luoran here to shoot fish in a barrel. An’s smile is very interesting. Having known everything, he can use cultivators as chess pieces to play a game which he has designed for many years. Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan laugh because Xin Yuanping doesn’t even know that she is about to face her imminent death.
Many years ago, a young Taoist with a baby face opened the door of Qingcheng Villa, calling her “School Sister Lin”. He was not her younger school brother. However, at that time, there was a popular BBS website called ““Tribe for Cultivators” in the World of Cultivation of Huaxia. A group of young training Qi cultivators from Huaxia all called her “School Sister Lin”. Later on, she laid Foundation in Jinling. When she reappeared, she was “Lin Luoran” rather than “School Sister Lin”. She became a senior master, and few young cultivators dared to hang out with her. As the master of Qingcheng Taoist Temple, Hui Zhu was nice to Lin Luoran in the beginning. Without Xin Yuanping, their relationship would not be so embarrassing. Hui Zhu chose to take Qingcheng Taoist Temple apprentices to live a sequestered life for a hundred years as an answer to the world of personal ability enhancement in Huaxia. In this way, he could protect Xin Y
Zhixiu has already decided to deal with the trouble on the Hasa Star. It is related to his accomplishment in Buddhism for several generations, so Lin Luoran cannot express her opinions casually. The strong perfume at the source of the Luoye River reminds them of the rat monster and its Hasa Mi Sect, which makes them disgusted. Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan have decided to leave through the interstellar transmission circle. Thousands of demons, trapped on the top of the tree, are guardians who protect the interstellar transmission circle. Zhixiu opens a channel among the demons for Lin Luoran and Mu Tiannan. He also checks the magic circle. Fortunately, it is still working. Lin Luoran knows nothing about the second-rate spiritual world. Zhixiu was chased by the Yinshan School all the way and came to this Hasa Star by accident. They have no idea about the coordinates of teleportation destinations. After entering the transmission circle, Mu Tiannan
Mu Tiannan pinches the red light ball with disgust. When he speaks, he even squeezes it hard. The rat monster really wants to vomit a mouthful of blood again. When the rat monster is distracted, Lin Luoran finally seizes the chance. She uses her fingers as a pen and catches the pulse of “fire” swiftly—a golden word figure has been written. The fire is ignited everywhere, and then it forms a cocoon. The rat monster is trapped. In fact, “Thunder” is the best to deal with monsters. However, Lin Luoran herself is a person with Divinization personal ability but has not yet passed the doom. She doesn’t dare to summon purple lightning—maybe before it smashes the rat monster, she has to go through the “Divinization Doom”. Golden word figures are derived from the Great Truths, which is the most orthodox inheritance of the man in the robe. Every time she studies them carefully, she always gets enlightened. The word “fire” written by Lin
Marking the primordial spirit with Buddhism secret ability and going to a lower world to possess and cultivate to be a Buddha— For such kind of behavior, Mu Tiannan and Lin Luoran both think it is really scary. What kind of Buddha he is? What the rat monster does today is totally a demonized trick. He must eavesdrop the secrets of Buddhism—and knows the Tao proved by gods and Buddhas is closely related to the power of faith. Messages from the eavesdropping are always incomplete. If one can become a Buddha by fooling people to get the power of faith, then gods and Buddhas really mean nothing. Lin Luoran apotheosized herself. At that time, she had good timing, geographical convenience, and good human relations. Without the gold ware and the gold stamp from heaven, she can never deify herself. Gods and Buddhas are not equal to "immortals". If cultivators are enlightened by the Tao of nature, they can naturally become immortals. However, gods an
A beam of faint red light suddenly appears in the dark place ahead. Everyone feels disgusted immediately. Lin Luoran goes down the direction of the red light and controls the disgusting feeling in her heart. This time, they pass through the black fog quickly. Zhixiu stretches out his right palm, and a great force pulls in the three people inside the white light circle. When the light circle reappears, they can't directly look at the dazzling red light. Lin Luoran tries her best to open her eyes. She finds that they are suspending in the air surrounded by the white circle. They are now standing on the source of red light. Fire is blazing, and there are countless twisting and groaning phantoms in the flames. With a closer check, they realize that the phantoms are beautiful young women. They look extremely painful, but they only shout and struggle in silence. The fire is burning without a sound. The scene is scarier than the scene
